About this map

Yellowstone National Park encompasses this entire high-altitude landscape where the Yellowstone River and numerous tributaries like Beaverdam Cr and Trappers Cr flow toward the Southeast Arm of Yellowstone Lake. The topography is defined by the eastern peaks of the Absaroka Range, with Terrace Point and the prominent Langford Cairn overlooking the water.

A complex network of backcountry routes provides the primary infrastructure here, including the long-distance Thorofare Trl and specialized paths like the Lower Ford Trl and Upper Ford Trl. The presence of various campsite spurs, such as the 6a3 Campsite Spur Trl, indicates the managed wilderness character of the region. The map also captures the secluded Trail Lake nestled between the Park Co Teton Co boundary line and the river's winding course through the glacial valleys.
